A Chinese mainland spokesperson has called out Lai Ching-te, leader of the Taiwan region, for distorting World War II history in what officials describe as a dangerous push to promote 'Taiwan independence.' 🛑 Chen Binhua of the State Council Taiwan Affairs Office criticized Lai's recent remarks, accusing him of whitewashing the Democratic Progressive Party's attempts to 'split the country.'
'China sacrificed 35 million lives during WWII. Taiwan's return was a hard-won victory,' Chen stated, referencing this year's 80th anniversary of the war's end. He emphasized that Taiwan has been part of China since 1945 and warned that 'separatist schemes will never succeed.'
The fiery rebuttal comes amid heightened cross-strait tensions. Chen urged residents of Taiwan to reject Lai's alleged 'false narratives' and work toward shared national rejuvenation. 🔥 'No distortion of history can erase the truth: Taiwan is China's territory,' he added.
